Red Wings draft pick Victor Plante had the inside track to Detroit
Victor Plante was selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2026 NHL Draft after living with former Wings goaltender Chris Osgood while playing for the USA Hockey National Team Development Program, allowing Osgood to provide the team with information about him. Plante's brother Max was also drafted by Detroit in 2024 at the same draft position (No. 47), and both will play together at University of Minnesota-Duluth next season, while their other brother Zam was drafted by Pittsburgh in 2022. The Plante family, including their father Derek, a former NHLer, attended the draft to celebrate the selections.
